WATCH: Football Team Showers Grieving Anchor With Hugs

(NEWSER) – After a longtime sports anchor at a Columbus TV station lost his 21-year-old daughter in a car crash, the Ohio State Buckeyes did what they could to comfort him. Dom Tiberi's daughter Maria died on Sept. 17. That Saturday, OSU offered a moment of silence for her before its game, reports Deadspin, which calls Tiberi a "local legend."
